BYC 2013, Monday

Welcome to Back Yard Club 2013!

Each morning we begin BYC with a variety of songs and stories followed by art time!  
Every day drawing and painting is available at the easels, along with 4 other projects.

Monday

Foil Painting
The paper: Aluminum Foil.  The brush:  A q-tip!

Weaving yarn on a cardboard loom

Bean collages

Clay--playing with textures--wall hangings

Here we are at snack time.




The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  A very popular book!  
But  the great part about this picture is the brother-sister cuddle in the back!


Today we went on a nature scavenger hunt. 


Not only did we find plants and such, but bugs were aplenty!
Marty was often found with a bug in each hand.  (Here he's caught a cicada and a cricket.)


Abby and Brecken.


Lexi finds an apple...check that off our list!


 We were so lucky!  We saw a cicada clinging to its old exoskeleton.


Here we are taking a good look at the cicada.


Reggie and Sally


After our scavenger hunt we learned some folk dances:  
Seven jumps from Sweden and The Farmer in the Dell.

Lastly, we had a good time running up the hill and coming down like birds, rabbits, elephants, 
and well...who can resist rolling when you get the chance!?
